Zillow For-Sale, Rent & Sold Listing Extractor

Enter a city, state, or ZIP code and choose active listings, rentals, or recently sold homes — this actor turns Zillow's own search results into structured property records. Search results give price, size and location; with detail scraping on, each listing also gets nearby schools, tax history, price history, agent details and property features.

What this actor does

• Searches any US city, state, or ZIP code across three modes: for sale (BUY), for rent (RENT), or recently sold (SOLD)
• Returns core listing data from search results — price, Zestimate, rent Zestimate, beds, baths, square footage, lot size, address and coordinates
• Optionally opens each property's detail page for year built, HOA fee, agent, full description, all photos, nearby schools, price history, tax history, and property features
• Accepts direct Zillow property or search-page URLs alongside or instead of a location search; a property that appears in several searches is returned once
• Fields a listing doesn't have (e.g. no HOA fee, no Zestimate) are left out of the record rather than returned empty

Output per property

Each property produces one record. Fields with no available data are left out automatically. Fields marked detail only appear when scrapeDetails is on and the property's detail page could be read; if a detail page fails, the record keeps its search-result data (for a direct property URL that can be just url and zpid).

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
search	String	–	City and state (or ZIP) to search (e.g., "Houston, TX", "Miami, FL").
mode	Select	BUY	BUY (for sale), RENT (for rent), or SOLD (recently sold). Applies to search only; search-page URLs keep their own filters.

endPage	Integer	5	Max result pages per search (1–20). Each page returns up to 40 properties.
scrapeDetails	Boolean	true	Fetch full detail pages for enriched data (schools, history, features, etc.). Disable for faster runs.
startUrls	URL List	–	Direct Zillow property detail URLs (/homedetails/, _zpid, /apartments/) or search page URLs.

Note: at least one of search or startUrls must be provided.

FAQ

Do I need to configure a proxy? No. There are no proxy settings to fill in.

What is the difference between BUY, RENT, and SOLD modes? BUY searches active for-sale listings, RENT searches rental apartments and homes, and SOLD searches recently sold properties. The mode only changes which Zillow search is run; the record fields are the same.

What is a Zestimate? A Zestimate is Zillow's proprietary estimated market value for a property. The rent Zestimate is a similar estimate for what a property could rent for monthly. Both are included in the output when available.

How many properties can I scrape per run? Up to 500 properties per run. Each search page returns up to 40 listings, and you can configure up to 20 pages per search. A search stops early when Zillow returns a page with fewer than 40 listings.

Why are some fields missing from certain properties? Not all Zillow listings have complete data — some may lack a Zestimate, tax history, school data, or an HOA fee depending on the property and location. Those fields are simply left out rather than returned empty.

What happens if I set scrapeDetails to false? Runs finish significantly faster. You still get core listing data (price, beds, baths, sqft, address, Zestimate where shown) from search results, but not year built, HOA fee, agent details, schools, tax history, price history, full descriptions, or property features. Direct property URLs return only url and zpid in this case.

Can I search a specific ZIP code or neighborhood? Yes. Enter it in search using formats like "77339" (ZIP code), "Kingwood, TX" (neighborhood and state), or any location Zillow recognizes.

Can I scrape specific Zillow URLs directly? Yes. Paste any Zillow property detail or search results page URL into startUrls, combined with or instead of a location search. Search-page URLs are read with their own filters and paged with endPage; property URLs are added after the search results until maxItems is reached.

How current is the data? The actor reads live data from Zillow.com at the time of each run. Every record includes a scrapedAt timestamp so you know exactly when it was collected.

Is this affiliated with Zillow? No. It is an independent tool that reads publicly visible Zillow pages.
